Chapter 144 - Who is the Lucky Guy?

There was a moment of silence from the other line. Then she heard him laughed.

"Did Jacob thought you how to joke? Seriously?" Lance thought that J was just bluffing. After all this year, they were not allowed to see each other as per President Martin's order. Which they unwillingly obliged.

"Seriously, I'll meet you at Jacob's office." then she hung up feeling a little irritated.

After a couple of minutes, J received a text message from Lance. 'Seriously?' Which J chose to ignore. She is not the type of person that would joke around. And Lance should be the first person to know that.

Because J is not replying in his text reply, Lance called her. But before he could say anything, he heard J speak on the other line. "I am not joking around."

"I know," Lance replied. "But, if my guess is right, you are going to tell him all your secrets." Lance continued and paused waiting for J's confirmation but she didn't say anything. "Are you sure about this? I mean, although your marriage seemed to be real, the two of you have no recollections that you sign that kind of contract. And I haven't found Elder Parker, he is the only one who could exactly explain what happened."

After a couple of minutes of silence, J replied nonchalantly "I'm sure about this."

The rest of the morning was not too busy at the Department of surgery. She only had to assist an appendectomy which didn't last for half an hour.

During lunchtime, as usual, J met with Diana at the hospital's cafeteria. Diana has been busy with her upcoming wedding with Leo, her mother's right-hand man. After a couple of years hiding their feelings from each other, finally, they are getting married. J thought that Diana deserves to be happy.

But that reminds her, that she hasn't told Diana about her marriage to Jacob. Obviously, Leo hasn't told her yet or Leo probably didn't know. Because if Diana already knew about it, she would've asked her. So she seized this chance to tell her about it, after all, she is one of her best friends.

While eating in the corner of the cafeteria, which J preferred the most because it was far from the noise of other staffs that eats in the cafeteria, J for the first time initiated a talk between the two of them.

"Hey... did you remember the day that grandfather died?"

When Diana heard her there was sadness in her eyes but that was just for a short moment. "Hmm... Yes. But I was not there. You gave me a day off thou I really didn't need it that time but you still insisted. Why?"

"He told me that he married me off to some guy." that was straight to the point which made Diana speechless. Knowing J, definitely, she is serious.

"Oh... My... God... For real?! To whom? Did you know him? Is it Lance? So, it means that you are already five years married!"

"Shh... would you please keep your voice down? Why would you think it was Lance? Anyways... yes. I know him. I just met him, almost three months ago." J looked around to make sure that no one is eavesdropping.

Diana's eyes widened in excitement and amusement after knowing that her introvert friend is married. "Really? Then who is the lucky guy?"

They looked around again cautiously before she said, "Jacob Parker."

"What?!" Diana wasn't able to suppress her shock.

"Shh... " J tried to silence her again.

"You mean Dr. Jacob Parker?" Diana confirmed from J with a hushed voice, which J nod in reply.

Diana covered her mouth with her eyes wide open. "You are married to the CEO of CLP Group of Hospitals?" J nodded again.

"Did he know?"

"Yes... he found out just when he came back from abroad. That's how I knew that it was him. He came looking for me. He got a marriage contract with my name on it."

"But how... I mean... your identity was deliberately hidden. In fact, it was erased from all documents." Diana said with a furrowed brow.

"He accidentally heard it from Head Nurse Jing."

"Oh... did your parents know about it?" Diana asked.

J nodded her head again.
